Trump says he may reduce US troop levels in Spain and Italy ๐ฅ
President Donald Trump said today that he is considering reducing US troop levels in Spain and Italy, as the US broadly re-evaluates its military footprint in Europe amid disagreements with allies over the Iran war.
โI mean, they havenโt been exactly on board,โ Trump answered, when asked about the possibility of cuts to troop levels in Italy and Spain. Last night, Trump had similarly said he was examining a possible reduction of troops in Germany.
โYeah, probably will,โ Trump added, โWhy shouldnโt I? Italy has not been of any help. Spain has been horrible. Absolutely.โ
Trump has had significant friction with European allies leaders over their not helping in the Iran war. And in the Oval Office today, he renewed his criticism of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in particular.
โAnd you would have thought they would have said, โwe would love to help you,โโ Trump said.
โI mean, heโs doing a terrible job,โ he added of Merz.
Merz said earlier this week that the United States is โbeing humiliatedโ by Iran, though he also said his relationship with Trump remains โgood.โ
